Exam-year entry and costs in Porto
CLIP and Oporto British School are separate options in this Porto directory. Oporto British School publishes ages 3–18. At CLIP, the admissions rule is especially relevant to older transfers: new entry into Forms 10 and 12 is excluded because these are the final IGCSE and A-Level years.
CLIP’s 2026/27 tuition table runs from Pre-K to Form 12, with registration, new-student fees and meals listed separately. Its admissions page reported waitlisting when checked on 13 September 2026. An application and pre-registration payment do not establish an available place. Compare the appropriate qualification route at each school before comparing annual costs.
